This is a small, functional medieval trebuchet designed for Minecraft. It utilizes redstone mechanics for operation.
To load, place six TNT on each side of the front loader, and one TNT in the central cobble space. Activate the primary button on the wood, followed by the cobble button within 2-3 seconds. Precise timing is crucial to prevent accidental self-destruction of the trebuchet’s front end.
A switch is included to assist in pushing TNT into the firing chamber if necessary.
